Quite simply and so beautiful, GOD is nothing and nothing is the absolute of everything

Kazim:

"GOD is nothing"

I agree with that part. The rest seems to be pretty much gibberish.

Emailer:

nothing exist

hypothetically lets say the universe has a wall made of rubber if we take all the stuff out we get closer to nothing until were left with particles bouncing around at a colossal rate witch would form heat as energy this “energy” is now in theory in nothing so it has no forces to keep it in or to burn its fuel so it expands massively on a colossal scale until it spreads its energy out evenly then it would contract back in and technically repeat again and again.

so if nothing is something can we call it God in the sense of something of a creation or beginning rather then a higher being of consciousness?

Kazim:

The things you are saying at least superficially resemble sentences constructed in the English language. I imagine they make sense to you in some way.

Emailer:

v = HD and E=mc2

what don't you understand ?

Kazim:

Flamingoes may journey smooshily up besides the curly hedges of knickers!

Emailer:

to write out the complete origins of the universe would lag the internet out for years in one single email. to be derogative of meaning i.e. talking gibberish is not only showing a complete bias approach to life and its existents but also completely missing my point of God cannot exist as nothing is impossible nothing is Zero witch is unachievable and infant but without zero nothing would exist at all.

The above was a demonstration that if the form of English was followed, it would be possible to pick out the nouns and verbs without having to understand any of the meaning of the words. I was able to get the same amount of information from the selected post. Maybe it could also be used to demonstrate language structure. It certainly conveys no meaning.

I was having a chat with God the other day and he wanted me to assure you that, he in fact, does not exist - and if he did, he wouldn't give a shit about us - then they upped my meds again and I am back to the blissful state of believing in my typewriter and books as the epitome of all knowledge, holding the answer to everything, this, of course makes my bookcase rather stressed.

There seems to be a certain amount of theist's who don't know proper spelling, grammar and punctuation or how to structure coherent sentences properly.

I prefer the more educated theist's who at least have a university degree, took some debating classes and can present a decent coherent argument for god. These are the people who make the atheist movement stronger I think.

I talked with one university debate teacher and she basically said, "The world is your oyster when you know how to debate properly." I've never taken college debate classes but I think they would be useful when dealing with intelligent, educated theist's.

hi I'm am the guy who wrote this, it was an attempt at a joke of god is everything but also nothing, in the sense of nothing cannot exist so therefore god cannot exist it's a silly play on words and wasn't supposed to be taken literally

See, even though I usually give people a hard time for assuming every silly email that comes in is a Poe, for some reason I thought this one might be a Poe, if only because the whole epic "imagine the universe has a wall made of rubber" run-on sentence felt like it took a little work.

Nooo nothing cannot exist its impossible but in the flip side (the funny part or was spozed to be) nothing is 0 which is used in everything. but to clarify i do not believe in a god or higher being of consciousness that has magical powers and created everything from nothing

@Flycakes - I sort of get what you're trying to say, but you assume certain things are established and understood without any explanation and jump straight for conclusions. It's also not helped by your spelling and punctuation.

If you're ADHD, take your dex-amphetamines. If you're not, maybe take it easy on the caffeine. Slow down. Explain yourself is stages. Try to use grammar.

@Admin - If your first point was relating to HG criticising someone for using the wrong your/you're while he was adding unnecessary apostrophes I'd agree with you. But it wasn't. Can you honestly say that Flycakes doesn't need to improve the clarity of his points and that improved grammar would help do so?

If you were thinking up an answer that started with "Yes, I can honestly say that" then I'm afraid we'll get to point 2. It isn't a Poe. He was trying to make a jokey argument that god can't exist. It was a miserably failed attempt at wry humour, not a Poe. You can see this in one of his blog posts where he says "god is everything but also nothing, in the sense of nothing cannot exist so therefore god cannot exist it's a silly play on words and wasn't supposed to be taken literally".

it appears to me that the atheist experience is merely a self-indulgent series of bullying elementary level argumentation. though not surprised i am shaking my head at this grownups engaged in childish activities.

It seems like he's either trying to eviscerate the meaning of the word "nothing" in order to replace it with his preferred deity, or he's implying that the emptiness in-between part the smallest of particles is said deity.

Either way I can't figure out:a) how he's come to his conclusions outside of blind assertion.b) how this deity, which by his definition is effectively nothing, can interact with that which manifests.c) what the eff he's trying to say by saying this O.o

If he is a poe then I'm simultaneously impressed, as it's a good bit of trolling, and irritated that I got trolled.. :p

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:Dear Dr. Laura:Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate.I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help.Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.Your adoring fan.

i posted this for comedy value the god is 0 definition was fun and Ive had my fill a few ppl got the pun allot didn't which is quite disturbing as I'm not smart or intellectual in any way I'm glad a few ppl found the joke in you cant prove anything its a sI'mple catch 22. i hope you enjoy this post from a reply email sent to a radio show a friend of mine posted on my page. and i probably should take the time to apologize for all the people this will offend :D "May god be with you" <<< Get it ! 0

@Flycakes. You gotta love Dr Laura Schlesinger's right, educated, christian, proper and prudent advice she gives her radio show listener's. I doubt your going to get any response back from her for pointing out how unproper and inappropriate the bible really is but we know christian's love to 'cherry pick.' I'd love to see the atheist experience rip her too good, right and proper butt to shreds but I know that will never happen so until then us atheist's we be both intrigued and annoyed by listening to her.

I can see the Isle of Wight from the beach at the bottom of my road, thankfully I can't see the retard spewing unintelligable feckless twaddle. File in the bin under "morons" and ignore. Don't waste your time on these clowns.

@Flycakes Thx for posting that list of questions for Dr Laura- they are brilliant! It makes me want to call a Sunday morning program expressing support for the discrimination towards gays, then ask for advice using a question from the list. It would make for an interesting moment.
